Hey everyone,
I find that the Samba has it's problems. When I try to connect to my lone PC here at home, there is no problem. I get a clean connection to it.
But, I have a buddy with a network of four machines running XP. And every single time, no fail, when I try to connect to his machine on the network using a Linksys router and SMB it kernels my machine.
I got a kernel tonight, and it took forever for my machine to reboot.
What gives, does anyone else have the same problems i.e. XP and SMb do not like each other.
Cheers,

I've got one customer with 2 XP systems on an OS X Server (ther other clients are a mixture of W2K, OS X and OS 9 machines). XP works but MS must have changed something with CIFS in XP because its a bit wonky connecting. No pannics mind you, just not smooth as the others. I can't offer more details since I'm assuming your using OS X client but Samba is the same on both OS X client and server.
Have you got all the software updates?
